I don’t how many pucks he stole. I think a ton of them.”Marner got the Maple Leafs off to a fast start when he picked up a loose puck in the slot and sent a wrist shot past Anderson at 1:55.After Matthews picked up his 26th goal Tomas Tatar Jersey Womens , Marner scored again at 11:30. Marner’s 12th of the season made it 3-0 and chased Anderson.”We had to find a way to slow him down, check him better,” Brassard said. ”It felt like he had an answer for everything, he was on the puck, he made plays. He was the difference tonight.”Oduya fired a snap shot from the circle past Andersen’s glove to cut Toronto’s lead to 3-1 at 8:32 of the second period.But the Maple Leafs regained their three-goal advantage when Marner’s centering pass hit both Codi Ceci and van Riemsdyk before bouncing past Condon.

For the most part, the last 25, 30 games, we beat some good hockey teams and I thought some of the young guys really progressed, which is nice.”The two teams combined for 26 penalty minutes.Arizona goalie Antti Raanta appeared in his first game since signing a three-year, $12.75 million contract on Friday that will keep him from free agency. He stopped 24 shots.”Anaheim, they played a strong game,” Raanta said. ”Everyone left everything on the ice but sometimes puck luck isn’t on your side.”An altercation between Coyotes defenseman Luke Schenn and Ducks forward Nick Ritchie in the first period resulted in minor penalties for both.

We tried to execute the plan.
